Worked for a payroll firm and 99.75% of lemmy would be astonished at how powerful the state labor board is. And this was in Florida! Hardly a bastion of labor rights.
“waGe TheFT!”
“Have you called the state labor board and inquired?”
“NOAWW! I’m a victim and I make memes!”
Only our worst client, and only 1, wasn’t scared shitless of a call from the state labor folks. And these clients were rock-bottom, minimum-wage employers like restaurants, churches and thrift stores. Part of our payroll service was protecting the employer from fucking over the employees!
While I’m on about knowing your rights, a $26 legal insurance plan can save you 10’s of thousands with a single use. I call mine every few months.
“Can they do this? What about this? What are my rights? What if I do this thing? What form do I fill out and how?!” Mostly super-simple stuff, but my divorce and child custody cases alone saved me far than I will spend in the next 40 years.
The difference between rich and poor is legal representation. $26/mo.
